The basketball amateur team at USR is buzzing with excitement. With close defeats, hard-fought qualifications, and first-place victories, the end of the season promises to be intense. The U13 boys aim for the title against Phoenix Toulouse.
The U13 girls ended their championship with a defeat against Orthez (26-42). In the last matches of the season, the U15 boys were also defeated at home by PNH (31-32) and the SG team faced a loss against Loudes (24-30). The U13 boys also lost to Lourdes (27-30) but managed to qualify for a final against Phoenix Toulouse by winning two-thirds of the game. The USR had a double away game at Rieux-Volvestre with opposite outcomes: the U15 girls won convincingly (13-33) and took the top spot of the group at the last moment, thanks to Comminges’ defeat, who were previously the leaders of the group. The girls from the USR-Coteaux group are expected to receive their eighth-finals. On the other hand, the U18 boys needed to win to keep their first place and host the finals. They came close but lost 29-31, giving the first place to their opponents of the day. They will now have to travel for the quarter and semifinals. In Isle-Jourdain, the U18 girls had a bit of a scare as they were caught up in the second half, but still managed to win 36-33. They will also travel for the finals. The Senior Women’s opponents forfeited for the fourth time in a row, which should make them the top team in Occitanie and receive an eighth-final on the weekend of May 23-24, fully rested as they have not played an official match since March 17. In the Leisure category, a productive match at the beginning of the week between USR and Barzun saw the visitors win (39-58).
